Garrett and Eleazar both dived into the water as per command of Carmen. It was not really a problem for them. They can withstand the ice-cold temperature and does not even have to breathe with their invincible vampire bodies. But their main concern is the task they have been given to do: to retrieve a casket laid upon the bedrock of the lake.
"Seriously? A casket? What the bloody hell does it doing here?" Garrett can only think of this as he and Eleazar pulls off from the water a silver coffin which they thinks is made up from metal.
The coffin must be at least a hundred years or more, based from their assumption as it was found underneath the lake which was frozen a very very long time ago.
"So what are we going to do with this ladies?" asks Eleazar as he takes off his shirt to squeeze the water from it.
Kate looks upon her sister who is staring at the silver casket. "Tanya? This was your idea."
Tanya feels uneasy as her coven mates all look to face her. Giving the stare that silently asks her the reason why she wanted this out of the water. "Don't you feel it? The strange aura this casket omits?"
They try to sense what Tanya is feeling. They can all hear silence as they just stand there around the silver coffin. Not moving an inch just sharing glances with one another. Finding that casket is one thing, but finding that underwater, that is rather odd.
As Eleazar has almost drained the water in his shirt, he examines closely the material that makes up the exterior of the coffin. "This thing sure has good quality. Looks like the metal used was palladium. It avoids rust. Good as new. Impressive."
Garrett moves closely to feel the casket's lid. On top of it, there was a crest that serves as the design of the cover. An oblong that has a letter E inside. Beneath the E inserts a sword pointing upward making the letter E look like a skewer. The same with its left side. The sword's blade is overlapped by the font sending the blade to the back. The two blades intersect at the back making a cross shape. The Letter and the Swords overlaps a knight's shield making it the background inside the oblong. He touches the crest as he finally suggested what to do.
(For the letter E you can just imagine the Old English font in Microsoft Word)
"So, whaddya'say guys? I think we better open this up and get it over with. We can't spend forever here doing nothing, can we?"
"He's right. This thing's here already. Might as well know what makes it give Tanya the creeps. But I will not be surprised if there is a body there. After all, it's a coffin isn't it?" Kate speaks in her approval.
Tanya and Carmen nods to give Garrett the permission to open the casket's lid.
He tries to open it both hands but even with his full strength, he cannot do so. It is so tightly locked as if it was intended never to be opened. He asks for Eleazar's help as they both tried to take off the lid from its base. Somehow they manage to achieve success but they really quite made an effort. They feel a bit weird about it since they are confident with their enhanced strength.
A small puff of smoke dust escaped as the lid opened. Garrett put the lid down the snow-covered surface and the three women vampires moved to see closely what is inside of the casket.
Kate was right on what they would be finding there. Though they were not surprised to find a body lying there, they were shocked as to see what it is in their sight now.
"It seems Kate's idea was entirely right. It's a dead kid after all." Carmen speaks as she pities the young girl who is lying inside the casket.
Eleazar wears again his shirt as he looks down to the dead girl's face. "She's so young, what a shame."
"She's also pretty. And she looks lovely." Kate kneels down as she let her fingers run through the catafalque's edge. The thought of her sister Irina came to her mind. She misses her. "I wonder what the cause of her death is. I bet many had felt loss through her passing."
Carmen oversees the sadness in Kate's eyes as the latter looks into the girl. She knows what is in Kate's mind right now. She does not want to spoil the moment and make her coven mates feel loneliness as they see the dead child. "Why don't you men close the bier's lid for now? We have seen too much now and it would be disrespectful for the girl for her body to be openly bare for us to see."
Garrett nods in his assent. "Tanya, you haven't moved an inch there. You alright? Won't you take a final look?"
"Huh? Oh.. Yeah. Sure." She replies as she startled in Garrett's comment. She examined the young girl's dead body from head to toe. Kate was entirely right.
This girl is very pretty that Tanya thinks she can make several guys lined up for her. IF she was still alive. Her skin is so well-preserved. It does not show any signs of decomposition. She has this pasty white complexion yet so vibrant to the eyes. Caramel locks of long hair falls down up to her waist. It looks so smooth and soft. She has a petite body that would make anyone be afraid to hug her tightly as to avoid breaking her small bones. This girl is supposed to be dead but she lies there peacefully, looking like just having a good night's sleep. Truly, this young girl is such a lovable, enchanting.. and beautiful.
After giving Tanya a final moment to stare through the girl's body, Garrett and Eleazar both holds down the lid as they were preparing to close the rectangular metal box.
"WAIT!" Tanya almost shouted that made her coven mates' face turn in shock.
Kate moves up from kneeling down to stand beside Tanya. "What's the matter sister?"
"This girl.. This girl is.." Tanya trembles as she tries to say something about the girl.
Carmen feels uneasy to see her leader tremble all of a sudden. She was okay not long ago but now they can see fear all over Tanya's face. "What is wrong Tanya? What about this girl?"
The two men who were holding down the lid tries to stop in closing the coffin, waiting for what Tanya is about to say regarding the young girl lying down inside the box.
"This girl is a vampire! And from the looks of her age, she must be an immortal child!" Tanya gasped as she exclaimed those words that made all the vampires around her confused and at the same time, shocked.
"Sister, what are you talking about? How can she be a vampire? Look she's dead." Kate points out as she deems Tanya's thought impossible.
Carmen, who fully trust every decision and words Tanya gives, "My dear, how can it be? How can such a thing still exist?"
"Katie's right Tanya, this girl is dead. See, she's just lying there in the coffin. Must be a long time now." Garrett supports her mate's idea.
Eleazar responses for Tanya's defense as three other vampires throw suspicions on her words, "Well, there must be reason why Tanya concluded that, is it not Tanya?" He says calmly.
Carmen agrees to what her mate stated. "Right, why don't we hear Tanya first?" she says as she gives her affectionate smile towards her leader. "So what made you think that this child belongs to our kind?
"That girl.. If she's truly dead, then there would just be bones in the coffin. But look at her she's still"
"Maybe because of the ice? It must be lying there for so long that its body froze over time and stopped the decomposition process." Kate interrupts.
"Even so, remember the strange feeling I had earlier? It's because of her! Though it's kind of faint, I have sensed vampiric presence in the lake which made me see her casket beneath the water. A normal person would not be able to compare its appearance to us vampires. But that girl.. her beauty is comparable to our kind. One may think that she can rival that of our cousin Rosalie's. Her pasty white skin.."
"If she truly is a vampire, then at her body's age she might be an immortal child. That is what you're getting at isn't it Tanya?" Kate shivers as she recollects her memories of her adoptive mother. "But she's a bit older than Vasilii, isn't she? She can't be an immortal child. In fact, she can't be a vampire, sister! Look at her, she's dead already! How can she be an immortal in that case?"
Tanya was taken aback by her sister's words. She can feel her sister's hurt as she utter Vasilii's name. The one reason that made their mother be executed by the Volturi.
Carmen, Eleazar and Garrett feel the tension between the two blonde sisters. They knew their "centuries-long" suffering from the loss of their mother. And just recently, from the death of Irina. No words of comfort can free them from the sadness they're feeling. Time cannot mend their wounds.
Eleazar thinks deeply as he absorbs Tanya and Kate's words. Both have made out their points and seemed agreeable to facts. He once again looks to the seemingly dead girl lying inside the casket. "Well maybe.."
"She became petrified." All the other vampires looked up into him as he stated those words that made them attentive to him.
"I just remembered Stefan and Vladimir's stories back then. About them being almost petrified because of not moving at all. It is possible that it may be the case for this girl."
"Dear, have you used your gift on this girl? Does she have special abilities like Kate?" Carmen asks her mate for he seems sure of what he had said.
"None that I can thoroughly distinguished dear. But.. there is something quite odd."
Tanya slightly calms down as there is someone now who supports her idea. "Odd? What is?"
"Using my gift, I can see through one what capabilities or abilities he or she may have. I can even know if they have none. But as I look through this girl, I cannot see anything which is so strange. It's as if my gift is being blind as I search onto her."
Carmen worries that the thought of the young girl being a vampire may be true. Of course she trusts Tanya's words, especially now that it is being backed up by the own words of her mate. But Carmen knows that being worried will not help them now as of the moment. "Then, maybe she have a mental shield just like Bella?"
"I don't know. I cannot know. But what's present now is that this girl is unique and.." Eleazar turns his gaze to Tanya. "There are details that supports that this girl might be a vampire."
"Then how can we know for sure? If she's petrified what can we do?" Garrett's "adventurous mode" turns on as he thought of something exciting. "Should we go visit the Romanians and ask for they help?"
Kate shakes her head in answer to his question. She knew little of them and believes that they would not bother helping them if it's not fighting against the Volturi.
"The two avengers? NO. What about our cousins? Carlisle would always lend a hand for us."
"NO! We cannot let the other covens be involved in this. It might be possible that this girl is just like Vasilii. That we cannot know yet. We must not bring harm to others." Tanya once again trembles as she thinks of the possible encounter with the Volturi if they knew about this incident.
"Well then, shall we head back to the house? We can talk this there with ease." Carmen suggests.
"You boys should lift this casket back to the house. I'll just carry this girl with me." Kate again kneels down as she prepares to pick up the girl with her arms.
She slowly extends her right arm as she holds the girl's right hand. As their skin touches each other, Kate felt like she lost herself into space. The expression on her eyes went blank. She froze for a second as if her mind is being disconnected to her body.
Garrett is supposed to lift the casket back to the house after Kate takes away the girl's body from it; to lessen the box's weight. He sees his mate slightly became absent minded as she holds the girl's small hands.
"Katie." He taps Kate's shoulders as the latter went back on to her own senses.
She was a bit startled when a she felt a heavy hand landed on her left shoulders. She involuntarily and absent-mindedly produced big electric shocks in her hands as she heard Garrett's voice.
"Oh yeah?" She said almost quickly as she came back to her own thoughts. She turns her head to look upon the man behind her.
"You okay?"
"Uh.. Yes. Why wouldn't I be?" Kate assures her mate as she smiles.
"Cause it's kind of weird to give electric shocks to a dead girl sweetie." He points out with his index finger the girl peacefully lying inside the casket.
"Eh?" Kate instantly focuses her stare to the girl as she now feels the electric current that runs through her palm. She lets go of her small cold hand as she back away from the coffin, making her stumble and fall down in her ass.
Garrett was about to help Kate stand up but suddenly a creepy feeling surrounds all of them. It was like the strange aura Tanya was talking about. But this time, it was darker, frightening and feels more powerful. Everyone was sharing glances with each other as if telepathically asking each other what that feeling is. Then they turn their faces to see the casket lying on the ground.
It was very faint yet I still can feel it. A slight tickle in my hand. I wonder where did that came from. My body.. it feels so stiff. Is it because I haven't moved for too long? My eyes are shut closed yet I can feel the light surrounding me. Strange. I don't remember holding anything with my hand but I can feel something that tickles in my palm. Should I go see what it is? I cannot hear anybody talking maybe I'm still alone. My eyes.. I must open them.
I slowly opened my eyes and blink for two times. Indeed. There's light surrounding me. I can see the wide empty sky. I can see no sun, it must be morning then. The small tickles in my hand is now gone but it's strange. I can sense some presence around me. There are silhouettes seen in my peripheral vision. There are few, they are standing but they are all blurry.
I arose from the lying position I am in for a long time. I fought the stiffness of my body as I let my torso up for me to be in a sitting position with my legs supine. I turned my head from left to right to see the strangers' faces clearly.
I counted all the persons standing around me. They were five in total. Two white men and three beautiful women. The four of them looks like a couple. The first pair was on my left side, the woman with the dark hair has her arms attached to his partner. While the other pair, the woman is sitting on the snow looking like she fell over as "his" guy was behind her trying to help her stand.
The four of them, I find all strange. They were all beautiful, staring at me. I noticed their eyes were all golden colored. Their expression, very surprised yet frightened. I can feel they're trembling. I try to recollect in my memory if I had seen any of those faces, but nothing. They were all whom I do not know of.
I turn to see the last presence standing farther from me. A woman. Her hair is long, curly and a pale shade of blonde. She has rounded eyes, looking shocked in horror. Just like the others, she too, has golden colored eyes. Out of all them, she's the one who has been trembling obviously. Somewhat she feels so familiar. Someone whom I think I know. I tried to dig up memories in my mind.
I can feel my eyes widened as I stare through her. My body now feels less stiffed as I let myself question her.
"Sasha?"
